Shearwater Geoservices is preparing to launch a new multi-client 3D seismic project offshore Nigeria, backed by significant industry funding. The survey will be executed in partnership with Harvex Geosolutions and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).
The project is scheduled to commence at year-end 2025 and will be carried out by SW Duchess over an expected two-month period. The 3D acquisition will deliver high-resolution subsurface data across the Western Niger Delta Basin to support exploration decisions and upcoming licence rounds.
CEO Irene Waage Basili said the project reflects the continued momentum in the company’s multi-client business. She added that investment in high-quality seismic data is aimed at securing rapid returns while building longer-term value, enabling better-informed decisions tied to energy security in West Africa and beyond.
Shearwater Geoservices is a marine geoscience and technology business specialising in offshore data collection. The company operates seismic vessels and equipment and processes data using proprietary software. Headquartered in Bergen, Norway, it has facilities worldwide and employs approximately 1,100 people.
